This is a hidden downside of having proprietary defacto monopolies in tech. As long as the Adobe suite is the default in digital content creation, piracy is the default gateway to that profession. I don't care about Adobe's loss, as they pretty much encourage the status quo, I do however care about all the people risking their digital life's integrity for this. Since it's "this is how you do it", many non-tech people are not even aware of the potential fallout. It's the same for even more problematic scenarios, e.g. students using cracked Matlab, SPSS, ... executables to crunch real study data at home. Yes, digital responsibility is ignored by those using cracked software, but really you can't ignore factual constraints and the economic situation, when talking about who's to blame.
